to make sure that the change is consistent you need to disconnect then reconnect the modem

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

all ISPs have switched to the new plans tonight. What about Sodetel? Their site still indicates the old one.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Sodetel just called me, I didn't get to talk to them I was in a meeting. Did anyone else (sodetel users) get a call from sodetel today?
if so, what was it about?

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Sodetel just announced their new packages but they won't be effective until August 1 and the unlimited quota is from 1 to 8 am :(

Quoting from their website:
We are glad to announce the new DSL packages, which increase speeds and volumes for the same prices.

These packages will be applied starting the first of August 2014. In case the Ministry of Telecommunications allocates the technical capacity during July 2014 we will reflect the improvement on your current packages immediately and we will inform you of that.

The same Prepaid Cards will remain valid during and after the migration.

The reason why we are not applying the new packages before the technical capacity upgrade from the Ministry of Telecommunications is to avoid giving more volume at the expense of lower speeds and lower quality of service.

Lol speaking of the quality of service, Sodetel has the worst QOS already.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Nice packages !

Aren't these stats bad ? I guess I can't handle 4Mbps ? Well but I already have 2Mbps, so can anyone explain how come ?

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

I already have 4Mbps and I am thinking of upgrading to 16Mbps.. how will I know if my line supports it?

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

How is Sodetel gonna provide 1.5 and 2 mbps on the upstream channel?
Are they implementing ADSL2+ Annex M in some COs where there are private DSPs?

Any current Sodetel subscribes can connect using Annex M?

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

georgesmh can you please post your DSL information, as those I posted above ?

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

Compared to other providers Sodetel has less packages offered, plus why did they decrease the unlimited time from 1 to 8?! IDM still has it from 11 to 7! Im thinking on switching to IDM , what do you think?

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

@antolica IDM seems to be more expensive.. at 40$ sodetel offers more speed (8 vs 6) with a slighty lower quota, and they dont have FUP on large packages while IDM does. About the 1 to 8 am unlim quota, I called them and they told me they will talk to management if multiple users called them for a change maybe from 12 to 7.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

I'm not sure Georges, but you can try this calculator: http://www.speedguide.net/dsl_speed_calc.php
But I think there should be other factors, because when I enter my line attenuation on this calculator (and many others similar to it), it says my line won't work at all, and I'm actually confused with the high values I have.

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

This is the output I got (I put 13.81 the default value for Cable Loss. I don't know what else to put):

I don't know what is the dsl mode if 1 or 2+ but it's nice to know it supports 6Mbps

Re: Feedback for Sodetel

@gerogesmh your SNR is already relatively low and while certain European ISPs can tolerate bringing SNR values down to 6 or 3, I don't think that will be the case in Lebanon. You might experience frequent disconnections. Anyway, apply for higher speeds and find out what happens...

Sodetel's Quota Website is currently out of service - hope they're updating the databases
